Title: Do people know what "don\'t overuse polls" mean?
Post by: Samwise on March 07, 2001, 02:41:27 AM
I think there are just a tad too many polls posted lately. Yes, it is an exciting new feature, but you don\'t have to use it all at once. Just try it sometime when you have a good idea for a poll, and there aren\'t many already.

Yes, they do. But, I think also its a new feature. Therefor, everyone wants to try it. I actually am guilty of it. I done the Claude Shannon poll. But, I think once the new wears off of it, it will cool down. But then again, it may also be a bad idea in general.

Ah, sorry; as my poll is quite useless ( but for funny purposes ) - but I explain it as to test the new feature. And that\'s what most of the ppl has done here. Don\'t let them down by closing or editing their first polls.

As if you mean this personally to some, then I have nothing to say. But do not speak it generally; many of here has only posted one poll, some none, some many.

But of course you can advice them to add some quality to the polls they write.

As I have made one off-topic poll ( right forum, first "test ), do you mean I am a poll over-user as well? ;)

Lol, thanks guys. But do I have to mention that a certain STUPID, evil beast had altered my poll? Yes, it\'s indeed SoulGrind I\'m talking about (grrr, I\'ll get you sometime mate!).

Why would Soulgrind mock himself for nothing? I think it wasn\'t Soulgrind - maybe ddaryl? :)

But I don\'t know. Now I wish I could re-vote... ;)

You missed the action dude. SoulGrind added \'Samwise is an idiot\' and \'Samwise is always wrong\' or something like that. The new extra option is made by me. ;)

Come on... are you saying 54 polls in one days is overusing it... come on... give me a break ;)

Well, samwise, you can see I miss a lot of action these days. I usually call it "my luck", but you could blame the country where I live. Usually when I write here, you\'re asleep. When it\'s late night here, these forums are crowded the most.

And that gives opportunity to post as many posts as usually without getting noticed about "how many Darth Joyda names there is piled" :)

But I do find these new poll-fights between mods really interesting...

Told you so. :)



had to say it. Change is bad, just remember that! The polls, which are quite annoying as they stick to the top of the page, just fil the forum with more useless crap on topics no one really cares about. But hey, they will be gone soon enough, the change always comes full circle in this forum fo rsome reason, changes just don\'t stick, people will get pics before 500 posts, text under their name just by asking, etc. I prefer doing everything the hard way. the hard way for this little doo hickey is to wait out the madness til people start complaing on why people DONT use them, like the chat.

Hmm, granted, I dont stay up all night, but you are in Finland and I am in Denmark - so the difference is not all that big you know. ;)

Well, now that I think about it.. you\'re right. But I didn\'t mean you personally when I wrote that message, but this forum generally. I think the largest amount of members are asleep when I scroll these forums ( again you could call it "my luck" :) ), I mean if compared to the wildest time; just when I am asleep.

I\'ve experienced this, as sometimes at the weekends I stay up all night and post here :)

But maybe it\'s just a feeling, or a thought, that I THINK it\'s usually lazy here when I browse the posts, but actually it doesn\'t get wilder... well, you may get my point here ;)

-btw. Sammie, do we live in different time-zones? Denmark... hmmm...

Yeah, I believe you Finns are one hour ahead of us Danes. :)

Well, one hour isn\'t much, and maybe that\'s why I usually see you around when I post, Sammie :)

BTW. ( this is completely off this topic but had to ask ) I bought Lord of the Rings, english translation. I\'m reading it trough.

Have you read the dutch translation of Lord of the rings ( and if you have, what is it called there? ) or some other language?

And I do remember you once said you\'ve read the book. I\'ve been mistakenly calling LotR a trilogy, and it ain\'t. The whole story is meant to be one story, divided into 6 books ( originally )!

BTW. what do you mean by living cyber, OneBilly? Can there be such a creature? :) Admit it. I\'m an android.

I haven\'t read the Dutch version of LOTR. I have read the Danish though. ;)

I have read the English version as well. It was quite odd as they translated the names and places too in the Danish version, so the English names where somewhat different. Still some of the best book(s) I\'ve read though.

Yeah, I guess that\'s what I meant... but I was just joking around anyway Joyda, so like I said... this is your Cyber Home ;)

Hmm this poll seems to have a mind of it\'s own.
Accourding to this poll Sammy likes it "Every" way with men and Soulgrind likes farm animals (I am assuming in an unhealthy manner)
Glad they left me out of it phew :shy:
